A Distinct Approach

Cross-disciplinary innovation in action.

At Penn Law, we believe that the next generation of lawyers will be those who are not just superbly trained in law, but also have training in related fields — such as business, communications, health, technology, international studies, social work, and education — that complement and enhance their legal expertise.

In addition, our position as an essential part of the University of Pennsylvania, one of the world’s leading premier research universities, allows our students to enrich their cross-disciplinary legal education by enrolling in graduate level courses at one of our sister schools or pursuing a joint degree or certificate of study.

Penn Law’s academic programs are fully integrated with the professional and graduate schools on campus, providing students with an unparalleled opportunity to prepare for careers that engage virtually every major issue facing our society.

“Penn Law’s integrated approach made it easy to pursue a certificate in Business and Public Policy at the Wharton School, and provided an opportunity to engage in dialogue with students and faculty from diverse backgrounds in law, economics, business, government, and urban policy across Penn’s campus.”
